Alright, let’s get into it.
First up, Tuesday morning July 7, well Jaconé has some clean surf. We’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the SSE with a 10-second period, and combined swell energy is sitting at 734 — that’s some moderate energy pushing through. The morning comes in glassy, with a light northerly breeze, barely a ripple on it. Water temp is 74°, which is about average for this time of year, so wetsuit choice is easy. The break is exposed, and the optimum swell direction is SE, so this setup is working. It’s consistent here and knows how to hold a wave. This is the standout of the whole forecast — that clean, glassy morning with well-shaped waves that are solid enough for intermediates. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might have to share but it won’t be a circus.
That Tuesday afternoon though, things get messy — wind swings around to the WSW at 15 mph onshore, and the quality drops off a cliff. Wednesday looks marginal with onshore SSW wind and shorter 8-second period, so surf will be lumpy. Thursday offers a little cleaner light winds but the swell stays smallish and cross-onshore — not terrible but not epic.
Now Friday morning July 10 brings back the quality. Winds go offshore NE at 6 mph, swell drops to 3ft but it’s a long-period 14-second SSE groundswell with combined energy at 521. That period is significant — it’ll wrap nicely off the bottom, giving you some smooth shape at this break. For a cleaner, smaller board day, that morning window is sweet. Friday afternoon stays clean with a cross-off ESE breeze too.
Saturday and Sunday morning both have some clean windows — Sunday morning especially with glassy NNE conditions and 3ft 12-second swell, just low energy at 319. It’ll be fun but small.
Jump ahead to Monday July 13 afternoon — this one is another highlight. Swell jumps to 5ft from the south with 11-second period and combined energy of 760, which is solid moderate-to-strong energy. Winds go cross-off from the NNW at 6 mph, clean faces. That afternoon session has real punch, good for intermediate to experienced surfers. It could be a bit much for beginners since it’s past 5ft.
After that, the following days drop off into smaller, shorter-period slop until Friday July 17 morning — some clean 5ft ENE windswell but period is short at 7 seconds. That’s more of a choppier push. Then the swell really fades into the 1ft to 2ft range by Sunday July 19. That Sunday afternoon has a very long 18–20 second groundswell showing combined energy of 338, but at 2ft it’s more of a longboard glide than anything with power. The beach break setup might make that long period a bit straight, but it’ll be clean.
From there into the third week, we get small but clean morning windows on July 20 and 21 with offshore winds and chest-high swell from the east around 4ft, 7–8 second period — okay for a cruise but nothing standout.
There’s a gap of pretty marginal surf from July 22 onward, with the last few days offering only knee to waist high waves and occasionally glassy mornings or light offshore, but combined energy drops under 150. That’s weak and not worth driving for unless you’re desperate.
Overall, the best on offer by far is Tuesday July 7 morning at Jaconé with those glassy 5ft SSE groundswell waves. The second standout is Monday July 13 afternoon with the bigger 5ft S swell and clean cross-off winds. Everything else is in the fun-but-not-miss-it range.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
